MELBOURNE, Australia (Top 40 Charts) - A piece of paper signed by John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison in 1965 sold for $24,000 at an auction Monday, the Associated Press reported. An anonymous collector acquired the pizza-stained paper, which the three Beatles bandmates signed at a hotel in Adelaide during an Australian tour. Laryngitis kept drummer Ringo Starr off the tour. It's unclear if a thumb print on the paper belonged to any of the Fab Three. "I understand they were having a pizza in their hotel room in Adelaide when giving the autograph," auctioneer John Roper said Tuesday. "There is a thumb print there, but I don't know whether it's the pizza man's or John Lennon's."
